Definitions

  • the present invention relates to reagents useful as anticoagulants. More specifically, the invention relates to novel compounds that potentiates zinc ion inhibition of the activity of factor Vila or tissue factor-factor Vila complex, and pharmaceutical salts thereof. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions, the preparation hereof, the use of the compounds of formula ia and lb as inhibitors of clotting activity, and methods of inhibiting clotting activity, tissue factor activity, and FVIIa activity.
  • Blood coagulation is a process consisting of a complex interaction of various blood components, or factors, which eventually gives rise to a fibrin clot.
  • the blood components which participate in what has been referred to as the coagulation "cascade” are proenzymes or zymogens, enzymatically inactive proteins, which are converted to proteolytic enzymes by the action of an activator, itself an activated clotting factor.
  • Coagulation factors that have undergone such a conversion and generally referred to as “active factors”, and are designated by the addition of the letter "a" to the name of the coagulation factor (e.g. factor Vila).
  • Activated factor X (“Xa”) is required to convert prothrombin to thrombin, which then converts fibrinogen to fibrin as a final stage in forming a fibrin clot.
  • the "intrinsic pathway” refers to those reactions that lead to thrombin formation through utilisation of factors present only in plasma.
  • a series of protease-mediated activations ultimately generates factor IXa, which, in conjunction with factor Villa, cleaves factor X into Xa.
  • An identical proteolysis is effected by factor Vila and its co-factor, tissue factor, in the "extrinsic pathway” of blood coagulation.
  • Tissue factor is a membrane bound protein and does not normally circulate in plasma.
  • Factor VII is a trace plasma glycoprotein that circulates in blood as a single- chain zymogen.
  • the zymogen is catalytically inactive (Williams et al., J. Biol. Chem. 264:7536-7543 (1989); Rao et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 85:6687-6691 (1988)).
  • Single-chain factor VII may be converted to two-chain factor Vila by factor Xa, factor Xlla, factor IXa, factor Vila or thrombin in vitro.
  • Factor Xa is believed to be the major physiological activator of factor VII.
  • factor VII is dependent on Vitamin K for its activity, which is required for the gamma -carboxylation of multiple glutamic acid residues that are clustered in the amino terminus of the protein. These gamma-carboxylated glutamic acids are required for the metal-associated interaction of factor VII with phospholipids.
  • zymogen factor VII The conversion of zymogen factor VII into the activated two-chain molecule occurs by cleavage of an internal Arg 1S2 -lle 153 peptide bond (Hagen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83: 2412-2416 (1986); Thim et al., Biochem. 27:7785-7793 (1988) both of which are incorporated herein by references).
  • the two-chain factor Vila rapidly activates factor X or factor IX by limited proteolysis.
  • Factor Vila requires Ca 2* -ions and tissue factor for optimal activity. Apparently Ca 2+ is required for binding to tissue factor as well as for induction of an active conformation of the FVIIa molecule. Zn 2+ -ions have been shown to inhibit FVIIa activity, (Pedersen, et al.,: Thromb. Haemostas. 65:528-534 (1991); the normal concentration of free Zn 2+ -ions in the blood (15 ⁇ M) being 4-10 fold lower than the apparent Ki for zinc inhibition. It was suggested by these investigations that a histidine residue at position 241 immediately adjacent to the active site might be involved in coordination of the inhibitory Zn 2+ -ion.
  • Anticoagulants such as heparin, coumarin, derivatives of coumarin, indandione derivatives, thrombin inhibitors, factor Xa inhibitors, modified factor VII or other agents may be used.
  • Inhibition of coagulation is beneficial in a number of diseased states, for example during kidney dialysis, or to treat deep vein thrombosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and a host of other medical disorders.
  • heparin treatment or extracorporeal treatment with citrate ion may be used in dialysis to prevent coagulation during the course of treatment.
  • Heparin is also used in preventing deep vein thrombosis in patients undergoing surgery.
  • Treatment with heparin and other anticoagulants may, however, have undesirable side effects.
  • Available anticoagulants generally act throughout the body, rather than acting specifically at a clot site. Heparin, for example, may cause heavy bleeding.
  • heparin is rapidly cleared from the blood, necessitating frequent administrating. Because heparin acts as a cofactor for antithrombin III (AT III), and AT III is rapidly depleted in DIC treatment, it is often difficult to maintain the proper heparin dosage, necessitating continuous monitoring of AT III and heparin levels. Heparin is also ineffective if AT III depletion is extreme. Further, prolonged use of heparin may also increase platelet aggregation and reduce platelet count, and has been implicated in the development of osteoporosis. Indandione derivatives may also have toxic side effects.
  • AT III antithrombin III
  • anticoagulants comprise Thrombin- and factor Xa inhibitors derived from bloodsucking organisms.
  • Antithrombins, Hirudin, Hirulog and Hirugen are recombinant proteins or peptides derived from the leach Hirudo medicinalis whereas the factor Xa inhibitor antistatin and the derivative rTAP are tick-derived recombinant proteins.
  • Inhibitors of platelet aggregation such as monoclonal antibodies or synthetic peptides, which interfere with platelet receptor GPIIG/llia are also effective as anticoagulants. Bleeding complications are observed as an unwanted major disadvantage of antithrombin, antifactor Xa, as well as antiplatelet reagents.
  • Such anticoagulants comprise the physiological inhibitor TFPI (tissue factor pathway inhibitor) and modified factor VII (FVIlai), which is factor VII modified in such a way that it is catalytically inactive, but still binds to TF and compete with active factor Vila.
  • TFPI tissue factor pathway inhibitor
  • FVIlai modified factor VII
  • SMCs smooth muscle cells
  • treatment of atherosclerosis frequently includes the clearing of blocked vessels by angioplasty, endarterectomy or reduction atherectomy, or by bypass grafting, surgical procedures in which atherosclerotic plaques are compressed or removed through catheterization (angioplasty), stripped away from the arterial wall through an incision (endarterectomy) or bypassed with natural or synthetic grafts. These procedures remove the vascular endothelium, disturb the underlying intimal layer, and result in the death of medial SMCs.
  • This injury is followed by medial SMC proliferation and migration into the intima, which characteristically occurs within the first few weeks and up to six months after injury and stops when the overlying endothelial layer is re ⁇ established.
  • these lesions are composed of about 20% cells and 80% extracellular matrix.
  • Modified factor Vila (FVIlai) has been shown to effectively suppress the restenosis process possibly as a result of a decreased clot formation and thrombin generation initially after treatment of the constricted vessel.
  • the present invention fulfils this need by providing anticoagulants that act specifically at sites of injury, and further provides other related advantages such as its effect on the restenosis process.
  • the present invention has the additional advantage that it is a small synthetic molecule suitable for oral administration and for prophylactic treatment of atherosclerotic patients at risk for thrombosis. It has now surprisingly been found that Zn 2+ -ions exert their inhibitory action in competition with a stimulatory effect of Ca 2+ -ions.
  • Zinc is very unusual as a ligand for proteases of the chymotrypsin-like serine protease family, to which factor VII belongs. However, zinc is required for catalysis as an obligatory constituent of the active site of another class of proteolytic enzymes, the metalloproteases.
  • zinc chelators of the general formula la or lb have interesting pharmacological properties.

Abstract

Composés représentés par la formule générale (Ib) et leurs sels pharmaceutiquement acceptables. Dans ladite formule, X représente une chaîne aliphatique ou comprenant des hétéroatomes en tant qu'éléments de la chaîne; R1 représente hydrogène, un groupe amino (éventuellement substitué par méthyle) ou un groupe méthyle; R2 représente hydrogène ou un groupe méthyle; ou X, en combinaison avec C2, R1, R2, N1 et C3, constitue un système carbocyclique ou hétérocyclique; et dans laquelle la distance entre C1 et C3 est d'environ 0,37 nm à 0,77 nm environ, par exemple d'environ 0,57 nm à 0,67 nm environ. Ces composés sont des agents chélatants du zinc. Ces composés présentent des propriétés anticoagulantes dues à une interaction inhibitrice avec le facteur VII et le taux sérique Zn2+. Ces agents chélatants du zinc se fixent au facteur VIIa et provoquent le remplacement des ions calcium par des ions zinc dans le domaine de sérine protéase du facteur VIIa, ce qui inhibe l'activité du facteur VIIa ou du complexe constitué par le facteur tissulaire et le facteur VIIa. Ces composés sont utiles pour le traitement de déficiences de facteurs de coagulation sanguine ou des effets d'inhibiteurs de ces facteurs de coagulation. L'invention concerne également des procédés servant à inhiber l'activité de coagulation.
